Fluids and Capacities
Fluids
| Component / System | Description |
| Air Conditioning | Depending on its intended sales region, the air conditioning system is filled with R134a or R1234yf refrigerant.
CAUTION Select the corresponding refrigerant oil model according to different types of compressors. Do not mix different types of A/C system oil of different models at the same time.
|
| Coolant | The cooling system contains an ethylene glycol (phosphate and nitrate free) based coolant.
Coolant concentrations greater than 60% are not recommended as cooling efficiency will be impaired. Tesla G-48 coolant is a pre-mixed 50/50 solution of coolant and water. The coolant is ready to use. Do not add water. CAUTION Do not top-up or refill the cooling system with any other type of coolant, do not use any additives. |
| Brake Fluid | DOT 3. Dow 372LB (part number 1060099-00-A) is recommended to prevent squeaking from the master cylinder as the brakes are applied. CAUTION Only use new fluid from sealed containers. |
| Electrical Joint Compound | Penetrox A-13 electrical joint compound (part number 1089974-00-A). |
| Gearbox Fluid | EDF2 is used for both front and rear drive units. |
| Windshield Washer Fluid | Tesla windshield washer fluid contains 40% Methanol.
